Is the Game Beacon System an RPG initiative app?
No. It is a hardware-first turn tracker that can support initiative-style play without making a phone or tablet the focus.
01
A visible initiative aid
The Game Beacon System is not trying to replace your character sheet, VTT, or GM notes. It is a tabletop signal that helps everyone see who is active right now.
02
Useful during campaign play
In recurring campaigns, the same group uses the same table habits week after week. Hardware that stays consistent can reduce the mental overhead of calling and recalling turn order.
03
Set up in the app, play with the beacons
Follow the lights to see whose turn it is. Use the app to set up games that need more than simple clockwise order.
Questions
Common questions
Can the GM use Game Beacons for enemies?
The cleanest setup is usually one beacon per active player, with the GM using setup options and table procedure for non-player turns.
